Roger Bennion, Code Enforcement Division, reviewed a memo showing a history of Code
violations regarding unpermitted special events (Including outdoor displays, temporary
advertising, etc.) at this property. On June 11, 1997, a field investigation fdentrfied several
unpermitted temporary advertising devises (flags), shipping boxes and debris from packaged
items in the parking lot adjacent to Euclid Street, and excessive temporary window signage
covering more than the Code-permitted 20% of the window area at this property.
The Zoning Administrator concurred with the staff report recommendailon and the testimony
submitted during the meeting and dented Special Circumstances Waiver No. 97-04 based on the
following:
(a) That the Code Enforcement Division has issued numerous citations pertaining to
unpermitted temporary advertising and outdoor displays wfthout the necessary Special
Event Permit, and that granting this waiver would not serve the public interest in any
manner.
(b) That no special or extraordinary circumstances were identified by the petitioner or staff to
justify the request for additional outdoor displays and temporary advertising.
(c) That a 90 day special event is significantly more that permitted by Code (36 days
annually).
The Zoning Administrator noted that, based on the complaint history regarding this business,
there has cleady been an interest shown by the nearby property owners/businesses regarding
the business (Daniel's Furniture) and, if the applicant wished to pursue outdoor display, it would
be appropriate that he file a petftion so the request could be considered at a public hearing.
